Xiangjun Qi

About

Xiangjun Qi is a leading researcher in the fields of soft robotics, flexible electronics, and tactile sensing. Their most impactful contribution is the development of a soft bimorph actuator with real-time multiplex motion perception, a landmark paper that has garnered 113 citations. This work integrates actuation and sensing into a single, compliant device, enabling robots and prosthetics to both move and feel their environment simultaneously. Qi’s research also provides a comprehensive framework for the design of high-performance pressure tactile sensors, as detailed in their 2024 review (17 citations), which systematically analyzes micro/nanopatterned technologies for applications in healthcare, intelligent robotics, and human-machine interfaces. By bridging materials science, microfabrication, and system integration, Qi has advanced the practical realization of electronic skin and soft haptic interfaces. Their work is widely recognized for its potential to create more intuitive, responsive, and safe human-robot interactions, making them a key figure in the next generation of smart, adaptive systems.
